Jazz Cabaret at St. Barnabas/Cole Porter tribute on May 11, 2016

Good afternoon Jazz Cabaret friends,
We have completed our plans for our next Jazz Cabaret – Wednesday, May 11, 2016 at the Mt. Vernon Room – Washington Place of the St. Barnabas Health System. This will be another theme evening of music. We are featuring the delightful songs of Cole Porter. Cole Porter wrote over 1,000 songs and many have become jazz standards and commercial successes. Dane Vannatter will present the songs in his great interpretive style that will bring out the Porter lyrical and sophisticated melodies as Cole Porter would have wanted.
Dane will be accompanied by Daniel May on piano, Tony DePaolis on bass, and James Moore on trumpet. This celebrated group of musicians will elevate the evening of music to great heights of entertainment.
Dane has a new CD –“Give Me Something Real” – that has received rave reviews in “Talking Broadway” by Rob Lester and In “Cabaret Scenes” by John Hoglund. The CD is being played on jazz stations throughout the country.
This May presentation will wrap up our second year of Jazz Cabarets. It is our hope to continue these productions. That, of course, depends on your continued support as well as that of our sponsors. We hope you will help us keep jazz “alive and well” in the community just as it was in my younger years – sans the smoke! In addition to your attendance and purchase of tickets, if you would like to become a sponsor, that would be a great help in keeping our endeavor viable.

It was my first visit to the Jazz Cabaret last evening at St. Barnabas. A really nice night of wonderful music and friends. I hope I can attend more in the future! Everyone did a great job.
Thank you for an enjoyable evening.

Perfect Quotes

Dane Vannatter makes it sound so easy – his style is so natural and his sound so free that one could get the mistaken impression that singing isn’t work to him at all, but as simple as breathing and just as organic.
George Evans, CKUT/K103, Montreal

Right around this time of year, every season in cabaret, New York is traditionally infiltrated with acts from out of town who come to perform in the Cabaret Convention, or simply for the chance to be seen by our local audiences who can spread word of something new and exciting. Invariably, this works to the hilt, as in the case of such artists as Paula West and Dane Vannatter.

What makes Dane Vannatter such a standout is that he’s carving out his own vocal style, one that mixes facets of jazz and cabaret with intelligence and care.
